Re: console slowness in sl6.1
Thanks for the suggestions Chris. The reason I think it's a global terminal issue rather than a GNOME terminal problem is that it also happens when I SSH in from my windows machine (which is on the same LAN). Also, programs running inside the terminal will slow down, for example top will refresh slower than it would normally. It also affects everyone who's logged in, not just me.

Re: console slowness in sl6.1
I can see from your original email that I missed the (and/or any other terminals I'm using, for example SSH from another machine) part. :\ Derp on my part! Have you modified your /etc/bash_profile at all? I would assume that if this is a clean install the software should be fine... If you feel adventurous, check out the man pages for strace and do an strace on bash itself :) There may be some errors popping up that are not clear from just running it. -Chris On 2011-11-17, at 9:35 AM, Yi Ding wrote: Thanks for the suggestions Chris.

Re: console slowness in sl6.1
Thanks Chris. Yes, the bash_profile is stock, but I'll try strace and give that a shot as well. Someone also suggested I see if there's an issue with DNS so I'll also look into that.

Re: [SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-USERS] sl-source repo mirror difficulty; directory structure causing problems

SL Users,
I am wondering if anyone knows how to successfully
mirror the Scientific Linux source repo? I.e. for
things like yumdownloader --source to work?
Here's what I have in the .repo file for the source,
after distro installation:
baseurl=http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/$releasever/SRPMS/
http://ftp1.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/$releasever/SRPMS/
http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/$releasever/SRPMS/
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/$releasever/SRPMS/
but if we look we see:
lftp ftp.scientificlinux.org:/linux/scientific/6.1/SRPMS dir
drwxr-xr-x2 002048 Nov 17 20:52 repodata
drwxr-xr-x2 002048 Jul 26 16:52 repos
drwxr-xr-x2 00 10240 Oct 12 22:05 sl6-added
drwxr-xr-x2 00 10240 Jul 28 16:19 sl6-changed
drwxr-xr-x2 00 432128 Nov 17 20:51 vendor
problem with this is that it's in three separate dirs the
src.rpm files are not where expected, and thus I get
metadata for it ('repodata/*.xml' are in correct location)
when I mirror using 'reposync', but there's no actual
packages because they aren't where they're supposed to be.
This problem doesn't seem to affect the binary repositories.
I am mirroring those without problems.
Any ideas? Thanks.
I can't speak to the reposync issue, but I can recommend rsync for
mirroring the source repo (
http://www.scientificlinux.org/download/mirroring/mirror.rsync ).
As for yumdownloader --source , that seems to be working for me
$ yumdownloader --source gdm
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Enabling sl-source repository
gdm-2.30.4-21.el6_0.1.src.rpm| 2.7 MB 00:00
The repodata files know that they various RPMS are in sub directories
and reference them accordingly.

Does it happen if you run in purely text mode too (runlevel 3)? I've noticed something similar (several seconds), but totally sporadically.
